Senate candidate Mary Waters says she wants to help Sam Riddle, but he 'will not yield to these duplicitous b*****s'

Fox 2Mary WatersFormer State Representative Mary Waters has kicked off her campaign to regain a seat in the state's congress by saying that she hopes an upcoming bribery trial won't hinder her chances, and that her alleged co-conspirator needs her help.

(One of the words in the above tweet is blanked out, but it rhymes with "luck.")

"It worries me," Waters said. "Sam is crying out for help."

Considering that Riddle is now a convicted felon who could face even more time in prison if convicted of the aforementioned bribery charge as well as upcoming corruption charges, it seems like the best political strategy for Waters would be to distance herself from him.
